Description

Details about the gender of an individual.

Use

Use to record details about the individual's gender, including administrative and legal gender and assigned sex at birth, in addition to gender identity, expression and preferred pronoun.
The intent of this archetype is todetails about a broad range of details connected to the gender of an individual, due to modern thinking of gender as well as new knowledge of psychological, biological and social manifestations of gender.
This archetype also allows the recording of, and differentiation between, legal and administrative gender.
In most common use cases 'Administrative gender' will be used, as equivalent of the traditional definition of "Sex" in current or legacy systems.

Misuse

Not to be used for recording information relating to the sexual orientation or sexual activity of an individual.
Not to be used for recording genetic or chromosomal sex. Currently this is usually recorded as a laboratory test result. Formal representation of 'Genetic sex' is not yet well defined and may involve the combination of information axes, including chromosomal and receptor data, mosaic variants and diagnoses.
